INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your new V650! Designed for the most ambitious cyclist, the V650 helps you ride with con­fidence and reach your peak performance.

This user manual includes complete instructions to help you get the most out of your new riding companion.
To check the video tutorials and the latest version of this user manual, please go to www.-

polar.com/en/support/v650.

V650

View your training data, such as heart rate, speed, distance and altitude at a glance from the big screen.

USB CABLE

Use the USB cable to charge the battery and to sync data between your V650 and the Polar Flow web service
via FlowSync software.

8

BLUETOOTH® SMART HEARTRATESENSOR*

See live, accurate heart rate on your V650 during your training sessions. Your heart rate is used to analyze
how your session went.

*Only included in V650 with heart rate sensor sets. If you bought your V650 without a heart rate sensor, not to

worry, you can buy one at any time.

POLAR FLOWSYNC SOFTWARE

Flowsync software allows you to sync data between your V650 and the Flow web service on your computer
via the USB cable. Go to flow.polar.com/start to download and install Polar FlowSync software.

POLAR FLOW WEB SERVICE

Plan and analyze every detail of your training, customize your device and learn more about your performance
at polar.com/flow.

9

GET STARTED

To make sure you get to enjoy your V650 at its best, please go to flow.polar.com/start where simple instruc-
tions will guide you through setting up your V650, downloading the latest firmware and taking the Flow web ser­vice into use.

If you’re in a hurry for your first run with V650, you can do a quick set up by entering the basic settings on the
device, as instructed in Basic Settings.

CHARGE THE BATTERY

After unboxing your V650, the first thing you need to do is charge the battery. Let your V650 fully charge before
taking it into use for the first time.

The V650 has an internal, rechargeable battery. Use the USB cable included in the product set to charge your
V650 via the USB connector on your computer. You can also charge the battery via a wall outlet. When char­ging via a wall outlet use a USB power adapter (not included in the product set). If you use an AC adapter,
make sure that the adapter is marked with "output 5Vdc 1A-2A max". Only use an AC adapter which is
adequately safety approved (marked with "LPS", "Limited Power Supply" or "UL listed").

1. Push down to open the cap.

2. Lift the cap and plug the micro USB connector into the USB port.

3. Plug the other end of the cable into your PC.

4. The charging animation appears on the display. Charging the battery fully takes up to five hours.

The operating time of the battery is approximately 10 hours. The operating time depends on many factors,
such as the temperature of the environment in which you use your V650, the features you select and use, and
battery aging. The operating time is significantly reduced in temperatures well below freezing.

Don't leave the battery fully discharged for a long period of time or keep it fully charged all the time,

because it might affect the battery life time.

PAIRING SENSORS WITH V650

Sensors compatible with V650 use Bluetooth Smart ® wireless technology. Before taking a new heart rate
sensor or cycling sensor into use, it has to be paired with your V650. Pairing only takes a few seconds, and
ensures that your V650 receives signals from your sensors and devices only, and allows disturbance-free
training in a group. Before entering an event or race, make sure that you do the pairing at home to prevent inter­ference due to data transmission.

For more information on pairing specific sensors, see Compatible Sensors.
